According to this article it will last indefinitely if stored correctly. See Article here http://homecooking.about.com/od/specificfood/a/gelatintips.htm
The proteins in the pineapple called bromelain will break down the strands of protein in gelatin that forms jello. Hence, the effect of a fresh piece of pineapple on gelatin is able to keep the gelatin liquidfied.
Yes, as long as you do not use pineapple juice. this prevents the gelatin from setting.
Gelatin, when at its purest, is best measured by weight regardless of it being sheet or powder. Sheets come in a range of "grades" graduating up from bronze to silver, gold and finally titanium or platinum. In high quality professional strength products, the difference is merely the weight of each sheet with bronze usually being around 1 gram and titanium being around 3 grams. Generally speaking, one sachet of gelatin powder weighing 10g will set 500ml of water. Five sheets of "gold" gelatin, which is the most common of the sheet gelatin, will set the same 500ml, so long as both types are of the same high quality.
Yes, you can. It was made at home long before Jello began selling it in packages. See the link below for the basic recipe. It's very, very easy.
If you want to freeze jello in order to eat it frozen, Then yes it can be frozen. If you are looking to freeze jello in order to store and defrost to eat as regular jello later, then the gelatin in the jello may break down when it defrosts and make the jello mushy.
Jello can become watery when freshly made due to the separation of liquid from the gelatin structure as it cools. If the gelatin is not properly dissolved or if the mixture was not allowed to set long enough, excess liquid may not be retained within the gelatin matrix. Additionally, ingredients like fruits with high water content can release moisture, contributing to the watery texture. Proper mixing and following the setting instructions can help mitigate this issue.
Jello cannot "reset" in the traditional sense, as it is a gel-like dessert created by cooling a mixture of gelatin, water, and flavoring. Once it sets, Jello can be melted again by heating it, but this will alter its texture and consistency. If left out at room temperature for too long, it may lose its form or spoil, but it cannot revert to its original liquid state without being reconstituted.
i had jello in my fridge from 16 years ago, and i just ate it yesterday. The only thing that happened was I had to go to the hospital and I almost died. on the bright side, it tasted amazing!!!!
Gelatin does have an expiration date, but generally the taste and texture of it will be unappealing long before visible signs of spoiling will appear. Generally, gelatin sealed in a container can last from 12-18 months if refrigerated and 3-4 if stored in a cool, dark area. Open containers go bad after about a week in the refrigerator.
Leave it out in the sun and you will find out. You can keep it for 1 week You can keep it for 1 week
None at all as long as you keep it far away from a boil. Safe bet is to just put a shitload of alcohol in anyways. I'm smashed on jello shots rirght now.
There is no need to freeze cocoa powder; it will keep for a very long time in a tightly covered tin.
